Blogs about teaching students with new tools.

This is the first time I have seen this blog. I believe this is a great way for educators to learn new ways to incorporate new tools into their classrooms. It seems to update often, and I plan on viewing this resource in the future, because of the interesting topics that are being blogged about.

I've been following this blog and I also follow her on twitter. She has some great ideas and I really enjoy reading her posts.

This blog shares information about different resources that teachers can use for free in their classrooms. There are so many free online resources out there and this blog does it's best to bring the best to you.

The individual blog of Richard Byrne, a high school US History and Civics teacher, who actively submits his educational technological findings to over 36,000 daily subscribers. Byrn's blog has been awarded edublogawards.com's "Best Individual Blog" award the past three consecutive years; the award recognizes those who promote and demonstrate educational values with social media. This site offers many great links to resources pertaining to Web2.0 for educational purposes. 

I really enjoy finding sources that combine many ways to use technology. I think this was a great source. I am so glad that you added this link. It will be a great tool to use when I am thinking of ways to integrate technology into the classroom.

This is Ann S. Michaelson's blog, Teaching English using web 2.0. In Ann's blog, she talks about incorporating Web 2.0 tools and applications with students in her International English class. There are great posts about how to use different applications, such as blogs and WebNote, as well as ideas for 1:1 classroom activities. As a future English teacher, I am always interested in learning new ways to use Web 2.0 in my classroom. In addition to presenting different tools, Ann also considers how to teach English as a second language.

I really like this blog. I really like her ideas about incorporating web 2.0 into an ESL classroom. Whether it be ESL or just a traditional English classroom, I think that using web 2.0 is a promising way to engage students in learning English.

I like the web 2.0 tools Michaelson introduced in her blog such as Webnotes, Timeline and he vocabulary builder VocabAhead. The webnotes is kind like a combination of google document, google reader and diigo.I think it's convenient for both teachers and students to get useful resources, organize and share them. Although the free version limit the functions, it is still worth trying. The timeline tools is a good one can be used in history course. Using timeline to display flow chart in powerpoint is also a good choice. I like VocabAhead best. It explains words by using image, voice and example sentence. Thus, it makes students much easier to understand a new word and know how to apply in real situation. I think it's a good tool can be used in English class. Thanks for sharing the blog to us.

This source is a blog by Alexander Russo, who is a former teacher and freelance education writer. His blog is hosted by Scholastic.com and is considered on of the best education blogs.

I thought the blog you posted here was full of well intentioned, relevant posts. It is great to have a resource from a teacher's perspective that is out and dealing with technology. The growing pains of others can be the building blocks for the rest of us. Thanks for sharing.

I agree that this blog is a useful resource that can be used efficiently in my own future classroom because it contains relevant blog posts about using technology in the classroom. I feel that this resource is geared towards teacher use because the blog is about using technology in the classroom, which is generally, up to the teacher to decide and when how to do that. Great technology resource! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting and safe blogs for kids. Kids from around the world add stories, pictures, and videos of experiences from around the world. Good site to allow children to look through freely.

Blog rules are clearly posted. Sub blogs, like DogEared (about books), Green Scene (about taking care of the planet), and You Are Here (searching for landmarks) are cool for kids to post pictures of themselves and find out about cultures, animals, and trends around the world. This would be good for kids!

One of my favorite blogs about educational technology. Not only does it give reviews for apps and accessories, but it also gives the educational spin, as the blog is run by educators!
